Happy Halloween!!

Without snow on the ground it hardly felt like Halloween but what a welcome change to be able to trick or treat without freezing your buns off. Salem had a great time this year, she was a midnight fairy. Don't ask the selection this year was either Hannah Montana or well Hannah Montana so we settled on a fairy.

Steve took her trick or treating while I stayed home and got ready for our annual party. We have our friends come over for dinner, this year we had a house full of about 60 people who dined on hot dogs, sloppy joes, soup, and homemade root beer and donuts. It was a great time but a little crazy! I would have died without Madison's help. A special thanks to Amy for making the root beer and Shannon for the homemade donuts...Yummy

Saturday night Madison had a girl's choice dance for Halloween. They dressed up as old fashioned golfers and they looked great. A special thanks to my sister Mandy who sewed the knickers! I couldn't sew on a button if I had to, so her and my mom saved the day! To be young again right...

So with Halloween behind us, let the holiday season start!!
